2 leeks
1 tablespoon vinegar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 packages (each 10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
8 cups chicken broth
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Crème fraîche, for garnish
1. Remove the tough outer leaves from the leeks. Trim off all but 2 inches of the green and the roots, and then cut them in half lengthwise. Place them in a bowl and add water to cover and the vinegar, and soak for 30 minutes to remove dirt. Carefully lift the leeks out of the water without disturbing any sediment that has settled on the bottom of the bowl. Rinse and pat dry. Chop the leeks coarsely.
2. Melt the butter with the oil in a large heavy pot over medium-low heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 12 minutes.
3. Add the peas and the broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Add the mint and cool slightly.
4. Purée the soup, in batches, in a food processor or blender, until completely smooth. Pour the soup through a strainer into a pot to remove the pea skins, using the back of a spoon to mash the solids and extract as much liquid as possible.
5. Add the cream to the soup and season with salt and pepper. If serving cold, cover and chill the soup well in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. If serving hot, reheat it gently, stirring, without boiling. Garnish each portion with a small dollop of crème fraîche.
6 to 8 portions
